You either get a message "could not find server" or the game crashes with

Code:

Application Crash: std::exceptionshattered_horizon.exe build: 54

The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was foundgui::do_ui, do_ui, visualizable name:menudo_item_asynchronous_update, item name:window_painter

This is known to happen if your PC somehow either cannot resolve "localhost" or cannot connect to it. By default Windows understands that localhost = 127.0.0.1 = your own PC. Some firewalls apparently may block this (causing the failure) or localhost may somehow end up as not resolving.

You can try fixing this by adding the line

Code:

127.0.0.1 localhost

To your hosts file, located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (use notepad, it is just a text file)
